There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.
Michel de Montaigne
You can take from every experience what it has to offer you. And you cannot be defeated if you just keep taking one breath followed by another.
Oprah Winfrey
What is defeat? Nothing but education; nothing but the first step to something better.
Wendell Phillips
Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high, look it quarely in the eye and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.'
Ann Landers
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
Exile, for no other motive than ease, would be the last defeat, with no seed of future victory in it.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Be careful that victories do not carry the seed of future defeats.
Ralph W. Sockman
When defeat is inevitable, it is wisest to yield.
Quintilian
Defeat should never be a source of discouragement but rather a fresh stimulus.
